摘要
High arsenic and PCB concentrations have recently been reported for Green Bay, Lake Michigan. The source of arsenic has been localized to a chemical company producing arsenic herbicides in Marinette, Wis. The sources of PCBs are less well known. The effects of arsenic and PCB on algae have been studied for each of these toxicants acting separately, but not in combination. Based on the different toxic mechanisms for the two compounds, it is hypothesized that they will show independent joint action. The paper reports on a study to establish toxic thresholds and possible interactive effects of arsenic and a PCB for the green alga isolated from Lake Michigan. Refs.
